blizzard_falcon Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Besides Biermann? Mass? Do we keep Osi?And who all plays DE in 3-4 sets Jackson, Babs, and Peters play DE. Anybody else?Biermann, Mass, Maponga make the most sense. But Spoon, Worrilow, and Bartu all have flashed pass rush skills as well. Though I think they all fit best inside.Osi probably stays as a strict pass rush specialist in 4-3 looks.I think Goodman could easily play DE in a 3-4 alignment. And probably Cliff Matthews, as well, though I'm not sure he makes it onto the final 53 this year.And if Robertson stays, he is the logical choice to back up Soliai at NT. But I'd prefer an upgrade/competition in the later rounds of the draft.Just my thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else?Id like to see us get another 3-4 OLB that can be stud pass rusher. But we dont look bad with what we have. Maponga is another guy we have.

I don't have any problem with it, just curious the rationale behind it. Edited March 12, 2014 by Nole9782 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjmw84 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) A 3-4 DE's main job is to push the pocket and stop the run. At 6-4 275, he has the frame to add 10 or 15 pounds without hurting his ability. He has never been a great pass rusher, but his bread and butter was pushing the pocket and stopping the run. Maponga/Massaqoi's measurables, and skillset dont fit 3-4 DE. They are at their best when rushing the QB is their 1st priority. Neither in my oppinion are stout enough to handle that role. Mass was at his best in college as a 3-4 OLB. Maponga was a fiery player who stood up as well as put his hands in the dirt.My gut tells me he could be a contributor if used in an OLB rotation as well.
